CARA Delevingne made the switch from supermodel to screen star — and now she’s adding singer to her resume.

I can reveal she has recorded vocals for the new single from DJ and producer Shy FX as she finally launches her long-awaited music career.

The huge dancehall-tinged track, which will be premiered on Radio 1Xtra tonight, is titled Rudeboy Lovesong and was secretly recorded last year after she and Shy hit it off as pals.

And my exclusive picture shows her putting her acting skills to good use in the video too.

A music insider said: “Cara’s career as a recording artist has been a long time coming and she is now taking tentative steps into making it happen. She did loads of songs a good few years ago now but the timing didn’t work out and she decided to focus on her acting career instead.

“But now she is at a point in her life where she is excited about dipping her toe in new projects like this one and is open to doing more singing. She was really pleased by how this song turned out.”

Cara has become one of the most successful models in the world over the past decade and had big roles in movies Paper Towns and ­Suicide Squad. Her only other ­official song was one titled I Feel Everything, which was buried in the soundtrack for her 2017 film Valerian And The City Of A ­Thousand Planets.

Speaking about the new ­collaboration, Shy FX, whose real name is Andre Williams, said: “We met through mutual friends a while back and ended up in a studio session a few weeks later.

“The vibe just clicked and the track came out of a really organic place, as did the concept for the video.

“It’s been a really inspiring process collaborating with Cara along with the legend that is Sweetie Irie , who I’ve known from 19 — a long time.”

With Cara counting famous chart-toppers Miley Cyrus and Rita Ora among her other musical friends, I am expecting lots more where this came from.

Holly: 1st baby was struggle

HOLLY Valance says she ­struggled with motherhood when she welcomed her first child, son Luka, in 2013.

Speaking about becoming a mum, the former singer said: “I thought it was absolutely ­terrifying – it’s like the best and worst thing to ever happen to you.

“You’re exploding with love but you don’t know what you’re doing. You’re exhausted and fumbling around just trying to survive.”

But she didn’t get much help from her husband, property ­magnate Nick Candy.

Speaking on the new episode of Zoe Hardman's Made By Mammas podcast, Holly, who had daughter Nova in 2017, said: “He works seven days a week. He worked on Christmas Day – and even on the day we practised our ­wedding vows with the priest, he took a call in the middle of it.”
